No, not really. At the moment I am assuming it is a bug in something
somewhere. The versions of php and MySQL that I am using are not fully
tested. Therefore it is entirely possible that the problem I had is not
supposed to be a problem.

I am not sure how to determine these things, except to say that I am using
MySQL as it was installed by the "Typical" installation option.
Oh, now I understand better. Sorry. The username "admin" confused me, but I
should have known.
There is a slight chance I used a different host than "localhost". So to be
absolutely sure, I will do the tests again when I make a fomal bug report,
assuming that a bug report is needed. Other than that, I used the following
for both my Administrator and my non-Administrator accounts:
<?php
$location = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "mysql";
$conn = mysql_connect($location, $username, $password);
if (!$conn) die ("<p>Could not connect to MySQL using $location, $username,
$password</p>\n");
print "<p>Connected to MySQL using $location, $username, $password</p>\n";
mysql_select_db($database, $conn) or die ("<p>Could not open
database</p>\n");
print "<p>Database $database selected.</p>\n";
?>
